Only fished the evening ( puncture on route). 2 chub and an eel on float fished meat. Stunning countryside. Not fished here for twenty years access to the river not what it was very overgrown. A spike and rope a must. Enjoyable evening though.

Oddest day I've ever had fishing the Wye. Started at 06.30 trotting, despite trying a few good looking spots only one bite and small chub to show for my efforts. At 10.00 switched to feeder tactics and had 4 eels before I left at midday as number of canoeists, paddle boarders was a bit too much. Came back at 17.00 and fished until 21.00 in a variety of different swims on the beat and no matter what bait I used managed to catch another 10 eels? I did stop using meat on the hook at one point, this slowed their interest but they still took pellets and paste wrapped boilies. Even swims in the fast water it was only eels that were interested. Not the day I expecting but always nice to be on bank.

One carp off the top, tough day but a pleasure to be there.

4 eels. Seems to be a once in a millenium eel run currently. Reminds me of the good old days.

Two wild browns caught, one about a 1lb and the other 1.5lb. Both taken in fast flowing, oxygenated water on a classic hares ear nymph with a heavy tungsten bead to get it down. Both fish returned. Beautiful stretch of river, didn't get as much time to fish as I would have liked in the end so will definitely be back again.
